Title: potholes camping
Post by: 92xj on June 30, 2012, 07:24:35 PM: Have heard mixed opinions and no real facts on this.
Is it legal to camp out on any of the islands in potholes? Also, can you have a fire legally on an island? Thinking about boating in and taking the dogs out there for a weekend, tenting it on an island and just getting away from it all. So, can I do this?
